Last Sea of Clouds for the year

K and I went for the last sea of clouds adventure for the year.

Kと今年の最後の雲海へ行って見た。

We got there an hour before the gondola even opened . . . oops!

１時間早過ぎた！間違った！

We did end up being the second group in line.

２番目のグループけど。

The sun rise was stunning!

日の出は綺麗だった。

There was even snow that time. When we looked at Tomamu’s twitter, it looked like the last time the gondola was actually open, was the day we went up. There was a bit of a typhoon that week causing a crazy amount of snow.

雪が降った。トマムのサイトで前の時からずっと閉まった。台風し、強い風し、多い雪し。

Love being able to make the light split like this.

このよう太陽の写真ができる事が好き。

So much snow!

雪！

They’ve been doing construction all summer. I wonder what they’re doing.

夏にずっと工事した。何するでしょう？

Sea of Clouds

On a Monday holiday in November, K and I made yet another adventure trying to catch a real “sea” of clouds rather than just the super low ones we ended up seeing every time we went.

１０月の休みにKとトマムの雲海へ行って見た。毎回とても低かった。今回も低かった。

Even if they’re super low, they’re still gorgeous.

低いけど、とても綺麗だった。

There was ice on the sea of clouds terrace that day.

The towers and the gondola (how we got to the top).

トマムのタワーとゴンドラ。

So many people!

たくさん人だった。

Time to send some mail!

はがきを遅れた。

If it’s normally a sea of clouds, is this a river of clouds? ^^

だいたい雲海だったら、これは雲川？^^

A ghost!

お化け！

It was a fun early morning adventure.

楽しかった。

Sea of clouds, take 2

On Wednesday morning, K and I went back up to Tomau to try to see the sea of clouds again. 

水曜日にKとトマムに雲海を見に行った。

Unfortunately, it was just foggy. Even so, I was amazed at how many people were there. 

霧だけあったけど、たくさん人いた。

I thought these trees looked interesting in the clouds. 

この木は霧にきれい。

K and I, this sign shows how high up we are. 

このサインは高さを見える。

The view from the gondola, so many people just to look at fog!

Sea of clouds

On Saturday morning, a friend and left town at 4am so owe could see the Sea of Clouds in Tomamu.

土曜日に友達と４時に雲海を見に行った。

When we were driving my friend kept talking about ‘unkai.’ So I decided to look it up. The kanji are “sea” and “clouds.” She was surprised that I understood the kanji, but not the actual word. Those are super easy kanji, but together I wouldn’t have thought they’d be read like that.

運転中に友達は「うんかい」よく言った。　私はうんかいが分からなかったから、辞書に探した。　漢字は「雲海」！　漢字は分かり安い。　でも、読み方は難しかった。

This was the view on the way up.

上へ行ったの眺め。

This direction isn’t the main thing to see, but if we could just get a little higher, I think it’d be really pretty too.

この側にもきれい。

My friend and I.

友達と。

The view on the way down.

帰る中に眺め。

After we got back, it was about 8 am and time for a nap.

帰ったの後に８時ぐらいけど、昼寝の時間。
